Living in Palm Beach
Palm Beach is the most iconic luxury address in Florida. The 16-mile barrier island has been synonymous with wealth since Henry Flagler built the Royal Poinciana Hotel in 1894. Worth Avenue rivals Rodeo Drive for high-end shopping. The social scene revolves around private clubs like The Breakers, Bath & Tennis, and Everglades Club.
Real estate here operates on a different level. The estate section between Midtown and the north end contains some of the most valuable residential properties in the country. Oceanfront estates regularly trade above M. South End condos offer a more accessible entry point, typically starting around M. Even tear-down lots on the island can command M+.
As a Douglas Elliman agent, I have direct access to the Palm Beach market through our Worth Avenue office — one of the most prominent real estate offices on the island. Whether you’re looking at condos on South Ocean Boulevard or estates in the estate section, having a DE agent with local expertise is the way to navigate this market.

How much do homes cost in Palm Beach?
South End condos start around M. Midtown and North End homes range from M to M. Estate section oceanfront properties regularly exceed M. It’s the highest price-per-square-foot market in Florida.
What’s the difference between Palm Beach and West Palm Beach?
Palm Beach is the island — old money, estates, Worth Avenue, private clubs. West Palm Beach is the mainland city across the Intracoastal — more urban, more commercial, with its own distinct energy. Different municipalities, different markets, different lifestyles.
Does Douglas Elliman have an office in Palm Beach?
Yes. Douglas Elliman’s Palm Beach office is located at 340 Royal Poinciana Way — right in the heart of the island. As a DE agent, I have direct access to the Palm Beach network, off-market opportunities, and the relationships that matter in this market.
Can I find new construction in Palm Beach?
New ground-up construction is rare because the island is fully built out. Most new inventory comes from tear-down-and-rebuild projects. These typically start at M+ by the time the lot and construction are factored in. Renovated homes are more common and offer newer finishes at slightly lower price points.
